Liang Qichao's evaluation is that Tao Yuanming is noble, has a clear-cut stand, and strives to be a noble person in the aspect of parallel personality (Tao Yuanming's nobleness is well known, and the allusion of not bending over for a bucket of rice is the embodiment of Tao Yuanming's noble sentiment). Tao Yuanming's writing style is natural, simple, true and fresh, which can be seen from his poems (there are many famous sentences such as "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, leisurely seeing Nanshan").
Xin Qiji commented that Tao Yuanming's poems are fresh and true, integrated with nature, clear and leisurely, and there are many such sentences, which are difficult to compare with in literary works handed down from generation to generation. For example, Tao Yuanming's poems, such as drinking words and pastoral poems, are natural and fresh, and their emotions are true and simple.
